And gives Derek Hough his blessing...

Ashley Cole may finally be ready to let go of his estranged wife, Cheryl Cole as he moves out of their marital home for good.

Ashley has reportedly given his blessing to Cheryl's rumoured beau, Derek Hough and accepted that he is no longer part of Cheryl's life.

A source told Grazia magazine: “Cheryl is finally moving on and decided it was time Ashley came to collect his last few bits and pieces from the house.

“After everything she's been through, she's in no mood for recriminations, so they actually had a very relaxed chat when Ashley dropped round.

“He was very sad because, as he pointed out, it was the end of an era, but he's accepted that his time is up and Derek is the new force in Cheryl's life.”
